Interactive time is important. If it were adding those extra seconds to the build, no-one would care. But it's not. It's adding them to when the user's sitting at the screen waiting for results. > You mean 0.3% (or less) of the emerge world time?

There is no slippery slope.

If we're requiring EAPI before trying to parse PV, all the EAPIs have to be known to do any ordering. - -- Ciaran McCreesh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoe0iQACgkQ96zL6DUtXhEUrQCgoFztweuK3QRU2Ff0b0r6Otri D8sAoLSF9hv+4k5xG+k69s8z8NanNN+I =yO/c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
